good luck Jordan

Thanks for your service Jordan but I think you would be much better off playing on the ESL

Appreciate his effort, but he's out of his depth in the NRL. Best of the luck in the ESL

Not sure about your opinion of NRL being superior to ESL. Dont forget Warrington and Wigan beat NRL sides easily enough in the World club challenge, and both those clubs are struggling well down the League ladder at the moment, so they are nowhere near the best sides this season. You are listening to the Aussie comentators too much, who seem to have a poor opinion of ESL. I watch all the NRL games on TV and there is not a great deal between both leagues, with the Aussies just shading it at the top. But not much in it at all. At one time the Aussies used to come to England for retirement, but these days they come here and then go back to Australia and play again, so they must be coming back better players.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. NRL is far superior to ESL in my opinion

Without a shadow of a doubt. Any sane person would agree. That is why Aus vs England Tests ALWAYS end up no more than a training run for the Aussies with a cricket score winning margin. Its been that way for the last 30 years at least.

He will struggle in the ESL after a few years under Taylor.

 

[TrueTiger]

One of the youngest players to debut in the NRL,his efforts overseas before coming back here were outstanding,he is a man of dignity and he was pushed from pillar to post and used all over the park when playing for us…hope everything turns out great for Jordan,even if many on here and elsewhere rubbished him,he is a person of great integrity and honesty.....good luck Jordan in your future endeavours...

Taupau wasn't exactly let go, he already signed for big bucks at Manly and Manly enquired if they could have him a year early. Tigers were not able to match the Manly offer and were under salary cap pressure, so let him go the year early, like they did w Blake Austin.

But people talking about Siro Jr being a bad loss, please! Good defender? Strong runner? Yes for about 10 minutes every game. The guy's output was poor and we'd been waiting 5 seasons for him to play consistently strong football. Not saying he didn't have potential but at some point you have to make the call and invest elsewhere.

And that's really the point, we could have re-signed him and kept waiting for him to casually realise his potential while he was comfortable here with his mates. He gets paid to play with another team and suddenly its performance time. Its no surprise that players perform better after they are removed from their comfort zone.

Apart from Moses. To paraphrase Crowded House: everywhere he goes, he always takes his comfort zone with him.

The Siro argument is laughable, used by those looking to beat the dead horse that is JT and the current administration. The fact is Siro played almost 70 games for us under 3 different coaches and looked average for the entire duration. If he's playing well this year, its not necessarily a reflection on our club. Sometimes players need a change of club to take the next step. We've benefitted ourselves picking up those kinds of players a few times. That's footy.
